don't stop believing
[It's a pleasant afternoon in the garden. Maybe not emotionally, but physically - isn't it nice when you get to have class outside?
As your voices rise, singing defiance in unison out for the Wizard, there's no immediate response; at least, nothing that clearly is a response. But there's something. Amidst the sound of your song, it may be hard to hear at first; Janis will likely be the first to notice, but eventually everyone is able to hear. It sounds as though other voices are rising along with yours.
There's something on the air - no music, or at least no instrumentals, just a disembodied sort of lyrical chant. You don't recognize any of the voices. They aren't singing the same song as you all are. Maybe they can't; they sound long long ago, and far far away now. Still - despite everything - the trees around you move lightly in a sudden soft breeze. It feels as though you have invoked something, old and entirely beyond your knowledge.
But first. Haven't you forgotten something?
It's Wednesday.
Welcome to this week's school club!]

Iiiiiii don't...know. She's been on the dead side with me for the past month, and it's just been really weird. [They've been coexisting alright, but he's not sure he can say that they're cool. They haven't really talked about all of it.] But she's got a friend now. An actual friend, it seems like, someone from the last game. I don't think she's gonna do anything right now.
[He's got some feelings about all of that, too; B has not really seemed his usual chipper self for most of this conversation. He swallows, and though he was looking forward to seeing everyone at the Denny's, offers:]
You, uh, you don't have to come if you're not comfortable, I can...meet you at the castle later.
no subject
Still, even though he's a little bit relieved that B didn't just like, forgive the woman who JFK'd him like nothing happened, it's weird to think of the Leading Player as having friends.
But one thing that Billy's gotten a lot better at, over his own game, and over the last five years... is reading others. His twitching stops, a look of concern on his face.]
What? No, of course we're gonna come see you. And we'll bring both your goddaughters and you can introduce them to all your new friends - [because B makes friends wherever he goes.]
And if she tries to like, I don't know, put a Sleeping Beauty curse on them or something, then... she'll have to get through Mama Bear Anna, I guess. But that's not- we'll deal with that if it happens.
Alright? [He puts on a smile.] It's alright now, B. It's over. We'll see you at Denny's.
no subject
...it's not really over. There's, um. [.....] I'll tell you about it later.
[This time it's nothing to do with all the people around; he just wants to talk to Billy in person. B is grateful for this call, but he'd feel weird getting that deep into what he knows will be emotional topics with a hologram.
...let's just talk about something nice.]
Oh - god, I gotta introduce them to the other kids here! They're cousins now, or something, these teenagers are just adopting everyone left and right - [wait. WAIT.] - oh my god, you need to meet Varian. He's a scientist, I think he's from some country near Arendelle! You'll love each other!
[Also another mad scientist, but B sort of missed that trial and the whole reveal of his villain arc.]
no subject
[Look he's the prince consort and royal engineer, not an ambassador.
He quirks a half smile at B.]
Look, I- I gotta go, it'll take me a minute to get the girls ready to go and let everybody know where to meet.
I'll see you soon and you can tell me all about it then. Oh, and I'll make sure Anna knows not to be mad.
no subject
[He did know Anna was gonna be mad. And also that, uh, death was a pretty killer excuse? His lips quirk in a smile.]
See you soon.
